    i’m using a PHP Code widget to list upcoming events on my homepage. how do i change the order in which they appear? current the most recent post appears at the top, but i want to reverse it so the most recent post appears at the bottom. how do i do this? thanks in advance!

    <?php
//display 5 posts for category ID 3
$taxonomy = 'category';
$taxargs ='include=3';
$terms = get_terms( $taxonomy, $taxargs );
foreach( $terms as $term )  {
  $args=array(
    'category__in' => array($term->term_id),
    'showposts'=> 5,
    'caller_get_posts'=>1
   );
  $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
  if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
    echo '';
    while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
      <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
     <?php
    endwhile;
  } //if ($my_query)
  wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
} //foreach
?>

  • Add ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, in your $args array

    i tried it like this and got a bunch of errors:
    $taxargs ='include=3'; 'order' => 'ASC'

    then i tried it like this and it had no effect:
    $taxargs ='include=3'; 'order=ASC';

    i know little about php so i’m probably formatting it wrong. please advise how to correct? thanks!

    Like this:

    $args=array(
    'category__in' => array($term->term_id),
    'showposts'=> 5,
    'caller_get_posts'=>1,
    'order' => 'ASC'
   );

    If this works, please mark this topic ‘Resolved’.
